My dear @fakehistoryhunter I read your fabulous book and now I'm being a pain to all my friends citing it whenever it suits.
But what's with this? I saw the claim multiple times that nearly every culture invented dragons on their own. Sounds suspicious to me 🤔

- The vikings
- old heritage from the first americans some 10.000 years ago
- the europeans after columbus.
The dragons are quite different, some of them arn‘t even dragons in the strickter sense.
Ofc you can call that Chinese thing a dragon. But it's a totally different creature than the western leather winged dragons.
Quetzaloatl, the feathered snake of the Aztecs - again something completely different.
It's just the same word, not origin.
But that's more of a topic for @praehistoriker.bsky.social I'd think.
